Establishment of adult reference interval of oxalate in spot urine using real-world data.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHyperoxaluria, characterized by excessive oxalate production, can be attributed to high dietary oxalate intake, genetic disorders affecting oxalate metabolism, or certain intestinal diseases. Despite its clinical significance, there is a paucity of comprehensive discussions regarding the reference interval (RI) for oxalate levels in spot urine samples. This study aims to establish an appropriate adult RI for oxalate in spot urine to enhance the interpretation of clinical data.
methodsBetween January 2021 and July 2021, a cohort of 608 adults aged 19 to 85 years undergoing routine physical examinations was recruited to establish the RI. Additionally, 381 adults with complete datasets were analyzed to examine variables influencing the urinary oxalate/urinary creatinine (UOA/UCr) ratio. Urinary oxalate levels were quantified using a high-performance liquid chromatography assay assured by a proficiency testing from the College of American Pathologists.
resultsThe study established sex- and age-specific Ris for the UOA/UCr ratio. For males, three age-specific partitions were identified: 19-29 years (8.499-54.39 mmol/mol), 30-39 years (10.25-61.29 mmol/mol), and ≥ 40 years (12.13-68.69 mmol/mol). In contrast, for females, two age-specific partitions were required: 19-39 years (11.03-64.93 mmol/mol) and ≥ 40 years (11.00-93.84 mmol/mol). UALB/UCr and UREA were recognized as key confounding factors in linear regression that could account for the differences in the UOA/UCr ratio in people.
conclusionDetermining adult RI of oxalate in spot urine is crucial for diagnosing hyperoxaluria. Our sex and age-specific reference intervals will be beneficial for hyperoxaluria screening. The findings regarding the relationship between variables support explaining the variation of UOA/UCr ratio in individuals.
